The Senate Minority Leader, Senator Comrade Abba Patrick Moro, from the PDP party in Benue South, has revealed why Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), was given permission to attend the National Caucus meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

This meeting was held as preparation for the National Executive Committee meeting of the party that took place last week.
According to Moro, there was no way Wike would have been stopped from attending the meeting since he has not been found guilty of any crime and penalized by the party.

The Minority Leader further stated that if the party’s disciplinary committee, led by former Senate President Senator Bukola Saraki, finds Nyesom Wike guilty of the alleged antiparty activities and sanctions him, Wike himself has stated that he will no longer attend the party’s meetings.

Moro said the survival of Amb. Umar Lliya Damagum as Acting National Chairman of PDP was not a victory or defeat for anybody but a decision that was unanimously agreed on by the relevant stakeholders for the party to forge ahead.

Senator Moro’s reaction was against the backdrop of rumours in some quarters that Amb. Damagum’s survival, against call for his resignation, was victory for the former governor of River State, Nyesom Wike, and a defeat for PDP Presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar.

In a statement in Abuja by his Media Adviser, Emmanuel Eche’Ofun John, Senator Moro said that the activities and inactivities of PDP should not be translated to Atiku and Wike. He said the whole issue was not about victory or defeat for anybody but about PDP; about providing an alternative formidable platform for Nigerians to look up to.

Moro said, “We cannot translate the entirety of PDP’s activities and inactivities to Wike and Atiku, out of millions of other members of the party across the country who also have their own thinking and reasons for being in the party. The whole issue was not about Wike or Atiku, or victory for Wike or defeat for Atiku, the issue was existential. We came together and reasoned together, that in the present scenario where Nigerians are hurting due to the maladministration of the APC government, what do we do to provide an alternative platform for Nigerians to look up to? In that circumstances, we decided to thread with caution so that we dont throw away the baby with the bath water,” he said.
